What to do when the product team struggles to stick to timelines (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every product marketer knows the feeling of building a launch around a date that then slides out from under them.

What does the Claude Watermark mean for Product Marketing? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At the start of this month, the newest Claude models began stamping an invisible watermark into everything they write. Not a logo, not a visible tag, not metadata you could delete. A statistical fingerprint woven into the words themselves - small shifts in word choice and phrasing that read completely normally to you and me, but that detection software can pick out across a few hundred words.It arrived to meet the EU’s new AI transparency rules, but Anthropic is applying it everywhere - worldwid
